Abstract (English)
In the contemporary organisations the human resources and the facilities that have are two majors driven forces for performance. In my own PhD research, conducted between 2007 and 2012, I was demonstrated that there are strong relations between the facilities and business performance. In 2018 I started a new research, more focused on the impact of new ways of working on the organisational performance and the relation between them and wellbeing. The main part of the current project is a case study from the Romanian branch of an Austrian Insurance Company where we investigate the possibility to reduce the office space for 340 people keeping the same activities and number of employees but introducing new ways of working. Another research part called “Office Flexibility” has the purpose to evaluate the level of performance and wellbeing of people from Romanian companies that already have introduced new ways of working as flex / home office and coworking plus the general awareness for this topic. Office Flexibility research is based on an electronic questionnaire that was applied to a number of 94 office workers. Both elements of the research show that Romanian office workers know well concepts of the New Ways of Working and they consider that are suitable solutions to improve the level of personal wellbeing and the level of organizational performance.
